Abstract
The objective of this paper is to clarify the physiological and psychological response of the human body at various air temperature and humidity conditions in summer and winter. Experiment were conducted using 2 Japanese young males under 15 kinds of the following combined conditions :air temperature of 24℃,28℃ and 32℃ and relative humidity of 50%,60%,70%,80% and 90% under still air in which the mean radiant temperature was nearly equal to air temperature. The following results were obtained : 1) Seasonal differences of the relationship between mean skin temperature and thermal sensation vote (TSV) were suggested. Neutral TSV is represented in MST of 33.8℃ in summer and of 33.6℃ in winter. 2) Seasonal differences of the relationship between humid operative temperature(HOT) and TSV were represented. Neutral TSV is represented in HOT of 24.9℃ in summer and of 25.7℃ in winter. 3)Seasonal differences of metabolism and evaporative heat loss were found.
